The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two books from the 1300s : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of that period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an outbreak in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Chinese Stuffed Peppers recipe.
